The story of Stoyan

Stoyan has spent most of his life living in an institutional home. When he was placed in one of our foster families at the age of 10, he was quite behind his psychological development and was really afraid of building attachments and developing relationships. His speech was difficult to understand at times and he had poor social skills.

While in foster care, Stoyan remains in contact with his birth mother and sees her every other mother, as well as writes to her. However, he is unable to live with her as she is suffering from a mental illness.
Thanks to the loving care of his foster family, Stoyan is experiencing an amazing personal development and is well aware of his own situation. He has become even more attached to his biological mother and showing true respect of his foster parents. He is in good health and performing well in school - had straight A’s in 5th grade! This summer, he went to the seaside for a very first time and experienced what other children take for granted

#Chillipeppers for Kids Care

The Chilly Peppers are rolling up sleeves to get crafty, to socialise, have fun, to raise awareness and save the abandoned children in Bulgaria! All you need to do is buy a pair of handmade #Chillipeppers earnings for BGN 25 and you're in the club!

The warmest gift we’ve ever received

These "treasures" have been specially selected by Safia to help orphan children in Bulgaria. It's interesting, amusing and heartwarming to see what in the eyes of a 6-year-old is needed to make a change in an abandoned child's life. Perhaps they do need a bit of sparkle in their life?

I have watched many documentaries about the Bulgarian orphanages which made me feel really sad and hopeless about the wellbeing of abandoned children. Naturally, when I read about Desi’s initiative, I was immediately 100% behind it. I never took part in clothes/food collections for orphanages because what kids really need is love and Desi has found the perfect way to provide a long-lasting solution to their problems. I try to help as much as I can whenever I can. Kids care is my favourite charity. I work as an accountant in an art gallery. My newest hobby is gardening.

Great things are underway in 2016

While continuing our work supporting foster care, this year we’ll be focusing on preventing child abandonment and helping children in extreme poverty. We started a new contract supporting over 100 children in extreme poverty to meet their basic needs for food, medical care, etc.

From everyone at Kids Care and all the children and families that we help - Thank you!
